May 17, 2024The Cherry on Top!!!
I can not thank Marscia enough for her gift and playing at my Mothers Day brunch on May 11, 2024. When I reached out to her all I knew was that I wanted entertainment for my event. I was supposed to pick songs, etc., I was was no help at all. I told her to play whatever, lol. She arrived on time was setup and prepared, so polite and professional. My family was so impressed by her musical talents and my Grandmother gave her a standing ovation for just about every song. She even asked me to book her to play at her 80th birthday party, LOL. I would definitely book with Marscia again without hesitation.

Your grandmother was a top fan for sure! I need to take her with me to cheer me on everywhere I go! Thank you again for having me for this beautifully designed event and for even including me in the activity for the group ❤️

October 4, 2026Absolutely incredible — talented and lovely to work with!!!
Marscia was absolutely amazing! She performed at our wedding and made the whole experience feel so special. We had a custom piece we really wanted included, and she put it together beautifully for us within about a month. She was incredibly pleasant, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process, which meant so much during such a busy time leading up to the wedding.
Her playing was beautiful, and hearing the songs we had chosen performed live made our ceremony even more meaningful. We are so grateful we found her and would absolutely recommend Marscia to anyone looking for a talented violinist who genuinely cares about making your event special. Five stars without hesitation!

Marscia is a talented and professional player who performed solo violin for my daughter's wedding. Her interactions were professional and the music was lovely! Booking was easy, communication was good and Marscia did exactly what she committed to do - on time, no stress!

August 20, 2026Corporate Event In Charlotte- Wonderful Entertainment!
Marscia and her team were amazing for our corporate event in Charlotte! She and her teammate were very professional, brought all of their equipment, and were prepared and organized. They tailored the setlist to our liking, and helped set the mood for our event. Would highly recommend them for any future events!
